"What do you mean by that? Haven't I been good enough to you?" Han Shizhao's thick eyebrows furrowed on his resolute face.
"Of course it's good that you're being nice, it's good to be respectful to each other..." Xu Jiayue was about to speak when the lights in the banquet hall suddenly went out.
A giant screen descended from above; this was a segment after their oath-taking ceremony, where the audience could admire photos of them growing up from childhood to adulthood.
But the oath-taking ceremony wasn't even over yet, so how did we suddenly get to this part?
Xu Jiayue was puzzled, and everyone else was too, turning their attention to the giant screen.
Suddenly, a photo appeared, showing Han Shizhao and another man in military uniform standing side by side, not particularly intimate.
Han Shizhao's expression changed upon seeing the photo, and Xu Jiayue was also shocked, turning to look at Pei Yang below the stage.
Pei Yang shook his head at her; he didn't know either.
Suddenly the photo changed; it was still Han Shizhao and that man, but this time they were more intimate, their shoulders were even touching.
Subsequently, the photos became increasingly intimate, even including one of the two lying on the bed wearing only white tank tops and underwear.
Then came the kisses and caresses.
The guests below erupted in an uproar, their voices even louder than when Xu Jiayue had expressed her unwillingness.
Han Shizhao's face turned completely pale, and Deputy Commander Han, furious, ordered the screen to be turned off.
But I couldn't turn it off, and in the end it played a video, a video of two people passionately entangled in bed!
Xu Haicheng and Jin Rulan were so angry they were trembling. Xu Tingchuan suddenly stood up and went to the stage to bring Jiayue down.
Suddenly, a waiter rushed onto the stage and, with great speed, grabbed Xu Jiayue and held a knife to her throat.
The scene was chaotic, with screams erupting everywhere.
The lights came on, and the man in the waiter's uniform was unmistakably the man in the photo!
"Did you do this?" Han Shizhao clenched his fists, veins bulging on his forehead.
If this day passes, all his efforts over the years will be destroyed in an instant.
"I begged you, I told you not to marry this woman, but you wouldn't listen." The man gripped Xu Jiayue tightly, the blade making a shallow cut on her neck, and demanded of Han Shizhao, "Besides being a woman, what does she have that I don't?"
Xu Jiayue was in so much pain that she kept tilting her head back. She truly hadn't expected that a man would actually stage a scene to steal the groom. Shouldn't she be the one being stolen? What kind of bizarre development is this?! Is she going to die like this? This is so unfair!
"Calm down, I rejected him." Xu Jiayue wanted to stand up for herself and quickly denied that she wanted to marry Han Shizhao.
"How dare you refuse him! Ah Zhao is so wonderful, what right do you have to refuse him!" the man said angrily.
Xu Jiayue was speechless. This man must be crazy in love with Han Shizhao. She was just too unlucky.
Out of the corner of her eye, Xu Jiayue noticed Pei Yang slowly approaching, and her face paled again. This man was obviously very skilled; wasn't he just courting death by coming over here?
"Put the knife down, she's innocent, she knows nothing," Han Shizhao said, speaking up for Xu Jiayue.
"Innocent? Who is more innocent than me? We've been together for seven years!" The man seemed a little agitated.
Taking advantage of the man's attention being on Han Shizhao, Pei Yang darted onto the stage and launched a sneak attack from behind.
But the man was very skilled and had sharp reflexes; he immediately released Xu Jiayue and stabbed her backward with the knife.
